Though I loved our original idea, we felt it may have been a little too chaotic for two minutes, and we felt that it was too much to dive into at the very beginning of our movie. The opening is now going to start with a shot of the young couple (still the killer and the victim) sitting on the hood of a car, reminiscing about the fun times they've had together in the past. They then move on to the topic of college and moving away next year, the girl (killer) tells him not to worry about the future, and just focus on now. She leads him into the car where they then start getting "jiggy with it", if you will. We see them in the car, doing their thing, we then see the girl pull out a weapon from her pocket. The boy is still oblivious to the situation. The next shot would be the girl lifting the weapon, as of now we're hoping that it'll be a knife of some sort, and then the boys face followed by a long shot of the car from the outside, and blood splattering on the window along with the sounds of screams. The killer than walks out the car with blood on her face and the boys body falls over, hanging outside of the car.
Though we did not include the POV shot that we were really looking forward of using, it is still a very well-developed first opening and we feel that it will be more effective and manageable than the original opening. The motive/plot is still the same as before.
Hi, Patty. I really like how you did your research. You presented videos and pictures and when I was reading your analysis about them, I was totally connected with your words.
ReplyDeleteI’m really glad that you changed your first plotline since I was a little bit confuse about the story; nevertheless, I believe that you should create a fight between the couple instead of her telling him that everything is alright and then just suddenly kill him. If I’m understanding correctly, your character is having some mental breakdown because everyone is going away, so that “killer switch” may be turned on every time she’s having a conflict with one of her friends. Think about it!
Also, I strongly suggest you that you create a sort of script or storyboard with your partner so the next time you go filming you have a clearer idea and you don’t waste your time. Also, making a list of things that you need to bring is also very helpful!
Lastly, try to add more media to your posts, pictures and videos of your progress or your locations, as a picture of Markham Park or your actors, so the reader can really follow you in your path through this project.
I wish you good luck with your blood problem and the project. Keep working!
Thanks for the tips!!
